Below is the link to my blog, and pictures from my adventure last weekend.  Only one 1970 Barracuda Convertible re-discovered.  Take a look, let me know what you think.

Niiiiice!  I wish I could find the stuff you do!  :thumbsup:

Ever see anything weird like an original Shelby Cobra or an old Ferrari/Lamborghini?  :clueless:

No, I have found something more rare then a AC Cobra or Lambo, but about 1/10 as popular.  A friend owns 2 of them, and they have been sitting in 2 barns for atleast 40 years.

Ford Comete' Monte Carlo.

Yeah, I have it on Moparts too.  Fun for all since some guys from here don't go to Dodge Charger.com or Moparts and vice versa.

The red car I found is a French Ford.  A Comete Monte Carlo.  Made for only 2 years, 1953 and 1954.  They were small cars with big Ford flathead V8's.  They were pretty quick, had 4-speed manuals and were the most expensive cars in France in the day.  I don't know the story behind these two, but they are pretty rare, just not desirable.
